The room was ready earlier than check-in time. Access to our 2nd level room was via exterior stairs. We were unable to get an Uber or a taxi from the site, so we used the Explorer bus, which we caught at Echo Point, several blocks away, to get our luggage to and from the train station.

3 Explorers Motel is our preferred stay in Katoomba .... and have stayed many times. You will note COUNCIL PAID PARKING everywhere .... but just park your car in 3 Explorers for FREE.... and walk down to 3 Sisters ... or round to Scenic World ... or up to RSL, Canton Palace, Carrington Hotel et all. Local Bus stop right out front ... great if you walk cliff top walk to Leura .... and catch train then bus back. 3 Explorers Motel rooms nice and cosy ... including Heated Bed warmers and great A/C heating. Hot shower with great pressure. Big TICK from us .... again !!!

We couldn't have asked for a better location! Very close to the Three Sisters viewpoint, and other beautiful views and trails. We just had a little difficulty adjusting the hot water in the bathroom. Room was spacious and comfortable with fridge, microwave, coffee and tea.
